More Wade Drakes must come to life. In his lectures Mr. Winters exhibited a live-logged animal, or a five-legged prosperous farm, vvihich was sup ported hy the legs: Organic matter, deep plowing and proper cultivation, soil moisture, lime, and fertilizers. To illustrate its use: When you start plowing under velvet beans and other legumes you begin to walk on tho organic matter leg; when you plow under tIiis organic matter you should begin plowing deeper and making a better seed-bed, and thus walk on tho proper tillage ieg; after you have done both of these things you should begin using lime and walking on this third leg; you should have already been walking on the "soil 'moisture" leg by proper ter racing and draining; and the fifth and last leg supporting the prosper ous farm is the intelligent uso of fer tilizers. Wo have been hopping on this IOHO leg-fertilizers too long and too much, and it is only by the uso of the oilier four legs that we can take tho weight off of the fer tilizer leg. In the monument of soil fertility we have made fertilizers the foundation stone when it should have been only the cap-stone. . A farmer is rich in proportion to the fertility of his soil. Plant vel vet heans in every acre of <-orn this year, says Mr. Winters, and "South Carolina will never become the grand old State that Cod Almighty intend ed slie should become until every acre of corn is wrapped up in velvet heans."

Early maturing canta loupes are much less infested by tho worms, as tho; bug comes out late lu the season. The moth which lays the eggs prefers the buds and blooms of the sn minor squash, and. the squash should be planted early so as to be In bloom when the cantaloupes aro forming later. Those squash should be planted ten days ahead of late cantaloupes. "When the cantaloupes have got ten to be the size of a child's base ball they may be bagged with a six pound nail bag. While bagging the oarth may bo slightly hilled with the feet so that the bags will remain dry. Sugar bags are too light and will not stand weathering." Geo. R. Briggs, County Agent. Catarrhs!

Washington, Apiri 13.-Great Britain is bending every energy to escape from dependency upon the United States for raw cotton, accord ing to a report to tho Department of Commerce to-day from Commercial Attache Dennis at London. To this end, Mr. Dennis said, England is en couraging the production of cotton in the former German possessions In East Africa, obtained under man date, and in her own colonial pos sessions. "While our own people have been considerably aroused by the so-called British domination of the world's pe troleum resources,'' Mr. Dennis said, . "little attention has been paid to the J ob y jons fact that a result of the v ?., Increasing Opportunities for tito production of raw cotton lino de veloped within tb? British Empire. The British have seized upon that fact and systematic efforts are being made by the empire cotton growing committee to stimulate cotton grow ing within the empire." "Colton growing," he continued, "is being urged by the British in all tho colonies where conditions tire favorable lo the crop. India, Egypt and Mesopotamia are to be utilized, as are the former German colonies in Africa," he said, adding that "the l"ritish hoard of trade plans to irri gate 3,000,000 acres of cotton lands near Khartoum. Commenting on the present inter national cotton situation, Mr. Dennis declared that by the end of July the world's supply of unconsumed cotton would amount to 1 1,030,000 bales of 500 pounds each. This, he said, would be the largest carry-over In the world's history. Collapse of the European market, as well as tho markets of Poland and Finland, bc said, had brought on the over-sup ply. Efforts of the public to bring down the price of cotton fabrics, he asserted, had done much to weaken the market, Vaughn Hurled in Asylum Cemetery. Columbia. April 13.-Thurston V.
